I was just thinking this. Nerdy geeking out and Clarus watching him in bewilderment and then staring into the camera and shrugging is exactly the kind of content I come here for
As a "man" you cry like a little girl over a cartoon. Then damn God over something that happened to a character in a TV show. BIG THUMBS DOWN. GROW UP!!!
Tagging his Instagram seems to be working. He's already shared a lot of people's reactions and it warms the heart to see him being flooded with positivity.
It wasn't 'people hating on him', it was the media of the time. He (Ahmed) literally tweeted about it a few years ago. Some fans hated JarJar (NOT AHMED, JARJAR!!), some (such as myself) loved him. But the MEDIA were the ones who used and abused him, just like they did Jake.
Space Mom and Dad take their kid to soccer practice! This was an amazing episode, so happy for Ahmed Best and those us who appreciated how much Favreau and Filoni just gave us.
Ahmed Best is long overdue for some recognition. He's not the reason Jar Jar was... well, Jar Jar. He gave the exact performance George Lucas asked for. I love how everyone is now saying how awesome a character he plays is.
You are the only one I have seen so far that recognized him right off the bat. Great reaction. Glad to see him back as well after all the stuff he went through.
@@soccertl They made channel just for Star Wars recently called Wave Squadron, Mandalorian reactions(among other thing are there). However, Bad Batch, is still on the main channel becaue it started before they created the channel.
Yeah I've been disappointed how many don't recognize him. Loved this one. Although a few have edited themselves in from later after realizing or seeing it in the credits, just to ask people not to attack them in the comments for not knowing. 😛
Nerdy's post-episode reflection and confessional about his own history with nerd culture - warts and all - and Ahmed Best's role in Nerdy's own growth and perspective/maturity was unexpectedly moving. Kudos to you for being so spontaneous and vulnerable for the masses on the internet, sir. The depth and energy both of you bring to your reactions/analyses is much appreciated. Cheers!
I love that Bo has kind of become Grogu's mom. Or aunt. I googled what a rondel is. It's a piece of circular armor used for extra protection. It was typically located in the armpit, a common armor weak point. I honestly thought Bo was going to get in trouble for losing a piece of her armor. I hope the person they were taking Grogu to was like Sabé. Imagine if we got a Keira Knightley cameo. I honestly think the Armorer is my favorite all time Star Wars character. A smith priestess, that's just awesome!!!
How far as bo katan has fallen. She was once a loyal soldier following her rules but as soon someone from the outside won her customs and traditions, she betrays her entire culture and traditions. What’s to respect?
A Rondel is a round protection piece of armor that is attached to an armor's helmet, breastplate, couter-elbow, and/or gauntlet; and in this case would be the chestplate for Grogu's beskar armor
My brother was friends with Jake Lloyd in high school. The amount of abuse thrown at him was sickening. I didn't particularly care for the prequel movies, but why take it out on an actor, especially a kid!? I'm so glad Ahmed got his big comeback, and would love to see Jake get the same, if that's something he'd want.
Kids can be evil. I was in Jake’s age group and loved the prequels, and I got mocked relentlessly for it. I can scarcely imagine what he had to endure.
People have been outraged that Ahmed Best was listed in the credits since they assumed that Jar-Jar Binks would be the one rescuing Grogu. I'm glad Ahmed got to play this different character here.
Bro… I have watched like 10 reactions to this episode looking for someone who reacted like I did about Ahmed and you are the first. I freaked out. All the others didn’t react at all cause they didn’t even know who he was till the credits. Fucking Star Wars channels didn’t know who he was and I was just baffled by that. So thank you. This is THE BEST cameo SW has ever done. This was incredible. Oh, and your girl looks like Anya Taylor Joy. Literally the biggest compliment I could give. So congratulations on that haha
The dialogue around the pickup at the landing pad sounds like they were planning on picking up other Younglings. There's a running theory on other videos right now: how cool would it have been if Jar-Jar's the one who sent the ship to rescue the kids when Padme got wind of what was happening? I love that (although it makes it even more sad).
The whole time I was watching this episode I was asking myself "Does Bo-Katan think she's surrounded by idiots"? Still training at the shoreline where they all know that huge monsters attack on a daily basis. Also when that Mando's kid got taken, and he ran out of fuel. He just calming says they never get the kids back, as though that happens on a regular basis. Dummies, all of them SMFH
Best reaction to this episode that’s out there! Kudos to Favreau and Filloni for choosing Ahmed Best to play Grogu’s rescuer. He deserves all the flowers. We’re always here for your joy, Nerdy!
I agree with you so much Nerdy. While I didn't enjoy Jar Jar as a character, I could never hate on an actor for doing what was asked of them. The amount of hate I saw for Ahmed growing up was disgusting, and seeing him get the love he deserves is heart warming.
Nerdy, I LOVED your reaction to seeing the return of The Sabered Hand...Jedi Master Kelleran Beq. He's been my choice for the one to save The Future Second Mandalorian Jedi in the galaxy, for around 2 years now. Any thoughts on where Kelleran and Grogu are heading to meet up with "some friends"? If it's Naboo, that would be so ironic. I wonder if The (current) Queen Of Naboo had a hand in this rescue. Some say it may have been Jar Jar Binks. I'll take both. If it ended up being Padme, Jar Jar, and The Queen...even better. I wonder if Bail Organa ever met up with Master Beq, at some point, post-Order 66.
I was looking forward to this reaction after watching the episode myself. Kelleren Peq is going to become very famous now. I am so happy for Ahmed Best.
I'll just remind you, Mandalorian Culture is founded on one dude finding a giant monster and riding it. It's built in to try to capture and ride awesome mounts.
@@fredyllanos8972 actually no. I genuinely thought it was a tyrannosaur. Turns out we're both wrong. It's actually called a Paar's icthyodont. So my genuine error, and your failed 'Um, actually' moment.
Keep in mind that Yoda's Species (I don't think it's ever been given an official name) lives nearly a millennium. If 900 for Yoda was equivalent to 100 for a human then 50 is like being 6. That's not to say they mentally develop at the same rate. There could maybe be something in the story about some kind of suspended animation (cryo-sleep, etc) that helped hide him for nearly 25 years (the time between ep 3 and 6).
True, but there are species that walk on the first week. We can't know when he becomes a teenager, speaking , evolving much in short time. Also i would think a dramatised shy kid is slower to mature, develope, so again he can develop rapidly. But it's a huge task, deciding his character, voice, etc. Super hard next step for the filmmakers.
Doing the math, I thought that his species matures relatively fast between ages 50 and 100. Yoda says that he's been training Jedi for 800 years in "Empire", which would put him at about 100 when he started teaching others.
Ahmed Best being brought back to Star Wars in such grand fashion (a badass Jedi who saves Grogu, arguably the currently most important character of Star Wars, nothing less), after all the crap he's been though, it's just pure poetry. Thank you Dave and Jon indeed ! And thanks Carl Weathers to make him look so badass in the process ! You got to love it when a black superstar turned director makes a fellow black actor shine in such a grand way. I love it that Carl is becoming such a household director name, now, and in Star Wars, nothing less ! Sure, the story was pretty stupid (the number of times I rolled my eyes at the script, like why is Bo Katan the only one with a ship ? How did they all even get to that planet ? No safety measure to scout the area for incoming kaijus ? All the leisurely camping trip pace while the kid has likely been dismembered and digested already ?), but visually and actionwise, this episode didn't have an ounce of fat on it ! It was pure muscle all around, and we love it !
The raptor probably has a pouch sac in mouth or throat to hold their prey live so they can regurgitate it out to their young alive so young can "hunt" and kill their food....lol
i feel that i've missed something important. i didnt recognize Ahmed Best by sight tho i certainly know his name and i've never heard of the character hes playing. its irrelevant cause hes a BADASS! cant wait to see him again! dont worry Clarus, i didnt know who he was either lol, but i loved both of your reactions! good episode!
To be fair, the crop is typically a grinding organ, not a digesting organ. Ragnar is probably bruised to all hell, but at least he was better off than Boba.
Love that he's just geeking TF out over Best while she has no idea. Don't feel bad, I didn't know who it was either until afterwards watching a few other reactions lol.
Yeah the whole timeline up until saving the Vizla kid made nosense. But I'll take it, other than that I really enjoyed it. I had no idea who Kelleran and Ahmed were, but now I hope Kelleran flies to Naboo and meets "himself". The submerged city is an great hiding place. Also, yeah the Mando's really should relocate. I expect them to go to Navarro. No way the 1st episode wasn't a set up for a return. Besides, there's the trailer.
That's how Mandalorians like their planets full of dangerous animals that's how Mandalore just to be a dangerous planet remember Madalorian culture only the strong survive
I love that the armorer is also the clan shaman, mystic, and psychiatrist. I had no idea who Ahmed Best was. Or that he got so much crap for playing Jar Jar. That makes no sense to me. Ahmed did what George told him to do. But also, I don't have nearly the same level of hatred people evidently do. I found Jar Jar entertaining. I recognized more than a few of my squad mates when he was in the field. I seriously do not think racism had anything to do with it. Jar Jar got the same flack that the Ewoks got. People loved Billy as Lando and Sam as Mace.
I like what you had to say about Jar Jar and Ahmed. While he wasn't my favorite character, he never really bothered me. I grew up with the OT, so I was 29 when TPM came out. I didn't understand all the hate for the movie. It was my favorite of the prequels. I also don't get all the negative comments on this series either. I'm a Star Wars fan that is enjoying being able to experience all these shows.
Thank you for acknowledging the racism that comes with the fan culture. John Boyega made a commented about the trolling he received in an interview by saying that it’s easier for folks to believe in in aliens and space wizards from other galaxies but they can’t wrap their heads around a black person being this universe too?
The Shaman/Armorer most likely knows that there is an actual mythosaur in the pool as passed down lore or told about it by her mentor/teacher or maybe she saw it so was not that phased/ surprised when Bo mentioned it. She Knows and she is not telling.
I don't think the Armorer is blowing off Bo-Katan at all. She's a devoted zealot of true faith; if an honored member of her enclave went personally to the Living Waters claimed they saw a mythosaur, then, well, this is the way. I think the Armorer was just accepting of the fact that something miraculous happened to Bo on Mandalore.
One thing: I don’t actually think they’re rolling out the red carpet for Bo-Katan. She tracked the beast and developed the plan, she led the party to save the foundling, and they prevailed. As the Armorer said, the highest duty of the Creed. They respect her actions, not her name.
Ahmed Best! Love that man! ALL RESPECT! Love knowing Jar Jar SAVES GROGU!!! Jar Jar could be the one who sent that ship to help get younglings off planet??? Jar Jar is a senator from NABOO, AND THAT WAS a SHIP USED BY THE ROYAL FAMILY! IT WOULD BE A SHIP THAT JAR JAR HAD ACCESS? TOO...PADME WAS PROBABLY ???? THE ONE WHO SET THIS UP! JUST BEFORE SHE LEFT FOR MUSTAFAR........
I see this criticism everywhere: 'Why would the Mandolorians live on this planet' I wish the show would have explained this more because it is a big part of Mandalorian culture: training against creatures that will test and mold them. Think of it as a rite of passage and a sort of Darwinism as well as a call back to their roots of conquering or in some cases taming noble creatures like the Mythosuar and the basiliskan (flying dragon creatures hint hint)
I totally understand why they live here, I just feel like they should be better prepared to be attacked at this point. They need a scout tower or something
@@NerdyNightly True having a scout tower would be understandable, but it looks like they have zero fortifications at all I think the idea is this is just a temporary base, a simple cave or cave systems. The whole idea is that this is a hostile planet, if the showrunners made it more fortified they would have had to up the danger to surpass the Mandolorian defenses. The Mandolorians need to be in danger to create stronger warriors they choose planets like this on purpose it is part of their culture 😉 The main thing I would have changed here creatively would have been to make it a jungle environment with equally deadly creatures (Go on location stop using desert volume locations) and give it a original predator movie location vibe.
I actually like Jar Jar and thought that he was good at bringing out that it was a lighter time in the Staf Wars story before the Empire began and all that.
There was obviously no fault of Ahmed Best that Jar-Jar was goofy. 20 years ago, people should've blamed Lucas whose idea it was. But the past is past. Now, count on Filoni for deep-cut references like that which 1. bring joy to your generation, 2. re-introduce Ahed into SW big way, and 3. adds importance to what was a rather obscure character. It's all changed now. Grogu is literally the baby-Jesus of Star Wars, saving him, well, need I say more?
Technically I think Bo might be older than Grogu. I mean she was mid-20's during the Clone wars, late '20's around order 66... and we're 9 or more years post Endor at this point. I mean Katee is 42, but I would think Bo Katan is a year or two older than "magic hands"
I wasn't a Jar Jar fan but I never felt negative towards him. He was just a goofy guy for kids. I also liked Little Anakin. I never knew People hated them until getting involved on the internet more as I got older.
Personally, I think the Star Wars Fandom has the most toxic fans. This is why I don't voice my opinions about the franchise, why I only enjoy the franchise with my friends in real life
A interesting question that this episode raised for me was, exactly how the Mandolorians have children per say if no one is permitted to see them without their helmet on according to their creed?🤔
...And I've always separated an actor from their role. I've never blamed Ahmed Best for Jar Jar! Ahmed Best is an actor who showed up to set, recited his lines, hit his marks and followed direction. Jar Jar was a silly character who was inserted into a movie to sell toys. I don't blame Ahmed for Jar Jar, just like I don't blame Wil for Wesley.
I’ve always had a like/dislike for Jar Jar. When Phantom Menace first came out I think I was around 13 and to me Jar Jar started as a lovable clumsy but lucky idiot that somehow became a military leader. And while it was some thing I noticed, I was alright with it because like I said I was 13 at the time. But as I got older and more was done with the character I started to have more problems with Jar Jar. To me, it was because he kept getting promoted to higher levels of power and authority by beings that live in a GALACTIC civilization thousands of years old. It just didn’t make sense. And to me, it hurt the prequel’s quite a bit. But I always kept that love the character and the heart of Jar Jar it was just how he was used in the story. And I never blamed Ahmed for any of this, and it always broke my heart to hear how much hate he was getting as a person
So is it known how long Grogu/Yoda's species takes to be considered an adult? If Grogu is 50 and still a child/baby, it seems like he'll have another 20 or 30 years before he's even what we would call an adolescent.
About Jar Jar, you were young, like I was young when I saw Ewoks for the first time. Objectively both were aimed at the younger audience and are offputting when you are over a certain age and see them for the first time. The character of Jar Jar made poop jokes witch was waaaaaaay out of the normal Star Wars humour tone at the time, it was quite frankly jaring and offputting. To the older audience it was not just Jar Jar the issue, it was the woodden acting, double bladed self mutilation light saber... basically it was not what we expected then from star wars. To us Jedi were magical hermit weirdos a bit like Gandalf in LOTR so when the prequel came it was reviled because it was not the expected tone. Was there a portion that was due to racism yes, no doubt, there are always bad people ready to use any excuse, but the Jar Jar thing was mostly about the character, not the great work of the actor, it was a script issue. The character had no redeaming quality and felt forced, why would an unredemable character would stick with Jedis through all that stuff for no real reasons? I personally only found him interesting when he was treated like a useful idiot pawn for Palpatine to take power, it gave him meaning, but before that he felt like 6 to 10 years old pandering.

Someone send a cut of Nerdy's reaction to Ahmed. He sure can need a boost after all those years of people hating on him for Jar-Jar.

Ahmed Best is long overdue for some recognition. He's not the reason Jar Jar was... well, Jar Jar. He gave the exact performance George Lucas asked for. I love how everyone is now saying how awesome a character he plays is.
So happy for Ahmed Best to get a redemption with the fans. Screw anybody who says that's a no-name.
Would I like to see an established canon Jedi? Sure. Does Ahmed getting the part mean 100000x more to me as a star wars fan? Absolutely.
You are the only one I have seen so far that recognized him right off the bat. Great reaction. Glad to see him back as well after all the stuff he went through.
Blind Wave's Eric recognized the character by name before they revealed him. He's also a huge Star Wars fan!

7:04 ...Childlike wonderment and excitement, engaged.
i cant help thinking that the crab scene is fortelling grogu and the mythasaur connecting
Seeing Ahmad Best saving the youngling was the Best
It's ok man. It's perfectly fine to feel something for these people and characters. That's part of what makes Star Wars special.
I hope someone brings yours and other reactions to Ahmed's attention ... He deserves all the love 🤩
The Shaman/Armorer most likely knows that there is an actual mythosaur in the pool as passed down lore or told about it by her mentor/teacher or maybe she saw it so was not that phased/ surprised when Bo mentioned it. She Knows and she is not telling.
I don't think the Armorer is blowing off Bo-Katan at all. She's a devoted zealot of true faith; if an honored member of her enclave went personally to the Living Waters claimed they saw a mythosaur, then, well, this is the way. I think the Armorer was just accepting of the fact that something miraculous happened to Bo on Mandalore.
One thing: I don’t actually think they’re rolling out the red carpet for Bo-Katan. She tracked the beast and developed the plan, she led the party to save the foundling, and they prevailed. As the Armorer said, the highest duty of the Creed. They respect her actions, not her name.

Ahmed Best was smoooooth with those sabers!!! 🔥🔥🙌🙌
7:50 Yousa Saved, Grogu!
13:55 the subtitles were [All Grunting]
Grogu can calm the baby dragons... He did ok with the rancore.... Dragonriders!!!
Ahmed best was awesome as jar jar and it was awesome to see him again.
This by far is my favorite reaction. Love you guys.
Ahmed Best! Love that man! ALL RESPECT! Love knowing Jar Jar SAVES GROGU!!! Jar Jar could be the one who sent that ship to help get younglings off planet??? Jar Jar is a senator from NABOO, AND THAT WAS a SHIP USED BY THE ROYAL FAMILY! IT WOULD BE A SHIP THAT JAR JAR HAD ACCESS? TOO...PADME WAS PROBABLY ???? THE ONE WHO SET THIS UP! JUST BEFORE SHE LEFT FOR MUSTAFAR........
I agree with Clarus. Loved hearing the sound of those Naboo weapons again!!
Birds are gonna be great mounts
one of the theories was that the naboo guard were sent there by a certain Gungan to use his ship to escort any survivors off planet.
I see this criticism everywhere: 'Why would the Mandolorians live on this planet' I wish the show would have explained this more because it is a big part of Mandalorian culture: training against creatures that will test and mold them. Think of it as a rite of passage and a sort of Darwinism as well as a call back to their roots of conquering or in some cases taming noble creatures like the Mythosuar and the basiliskan (flying dragon creatures hint hint)
I totally understand why they live here, I just feel like they should be better prepared to be attacked at this point. They need a scout tower or something
@@NerdyNightly True having a scout tower would be understandable, but it looks like they have zero fortifications at all I think the idea is this is just a temporary base, a simple cave or cave systems. The whole idea is that this is a hostile planet, if the showrunners made it more fortified they would have had to up the danger to surpass the Mandolorian defenses. The Mandolorians need to be in danger to create stronger warriors they choose planets like this on purpose it is part of their culture 😉
The main thing I would have changed here creatively would have been to make it a jungle environment with equally deadly creatures (Go on location stop using desert volume locations) and give it a original predator movie location vibe.
You can tell they had a higher budget for this season
The 'fan-service' argument is bunk. If it's not for the fans, then who is it for?
This might be a hot take but after Bo-Katan was batted out of the sky I was rooting for the flying crocodile. 😏 X^D
I actually like Jar Jar and thought that he was good at bringing out that it was a lighter time in the Staf Wars story before the Empire began and all that.
Armorer literally used “this is the way” to basically say “Cool Story bro”
you guys won a subscriber today. love the reactions.
Loved your reaction! Thanks for sharing with us.
9:13 - that's the reason i watch and love your reactions.
funfact the jedi who saves grogu is the same actor who play JAR JAR BINKS
Now that I know the context that is really cool I knew that he played jar jar I didn’t know about the Jedi game show thing.
There was obviously no fault of Ahmed Best that Jar-Jar was goofy. 20 years ago, people should've blamed Lucas whose idea it was. But the past is past. Now, count on Filoni for deep-cut references like that which 1. bring joy to your generation, 2. re-introduce Ahed into SW big way, and 3. adds importance to what was a rather obscure character. It's all changed now. Grogu is literally the baby-Jesus of Star Wars, saving him, well, need I say more?
Best reaction to this episode that I've seen.
Technically I think Bo might be older than Grogu. I mean she was mid-20's during the Clone wars, late '20's around order 66... and we're 9 or more years post Endor at this point.
I mean Katee is 42, but I would think Bo Katan is a year or two older than "magic hands"
I wasn't a Jar Jar fan but I never felt negative towards him. He was just a goofy guy for kids. I also liked Little Anakin. I never knew People hated them until getting involved on the internet more as I got older.
Personally, I think the Star Wars Fandom has the most toxic fans. This is why I don't voice my opinions about the franchise, why I only enjoy the franchise with my friends in real life
Meeesa Back!!!!!!! Yesssss! I liked Jar Jar!!! I always liked him and wanted him to be in Episode 2 and 3 more
Picking Space Australia to train probably should be revisited by the covert.
DON'T CRY BECAUSE YOU ARE MAKING ME CRY😢😂...LOL
Nerdy: Is this where Grogu flashes back to Attack of the Clones?
Me: No. This is where he flashes back to Revenge of the Sith.
A interesting question that this episode raised for me was, exactly how the Mandolorians have children per say if no one is permitted to see them without their helmet on according to their creed?🤔
...And I've always separated an actor from their role. I've never blamed Ahmed Best for Jar Jar! Ahmed Best is an actor who showed up to set, recited his lines, hit his marks and followed direction. Jar Jar was a silly character who was inserted into a movie to sell toys.
I don't blame Ahmed for Jar Jar, just like I don't blame Wil for Wesley.
This episode made me think a thing...
Din is not "The Madalorian" the title is referring to.
Grogu is.
I don't care what anyone says, I like Jar Jar and I'm not sorry about it
I’ve always had a like/dislike for Jar Jar. When Phantom Menace first came out I think I was around 13 and to me Jar Jar started as a lovable clumsy but lucky idiot that somehow became a military leader. And while it was some thing I noticed, I was alright with it because like I said I was 13 at the time. But as I got older and more was done with the character I started to have more problems with Jar Jar. To me, it was because he kept getting promoted to higher levels of power and authority by beings that live in a GALACTIC civilization thousands of years old. It just didn’t make sense. And to me, it hurt the prequel’s quite a bit. But I always kept that love the character and the heart of Jar Jar it was just how he was used in the story. And I never blamed Ahmed for any of this, and it always broke my heart to hear how much hate he was getting as a person
So is it known how long Grogu/Yoda's species takes to be considered an adult? If Grogu is 50 and still a child/baby, it seems like he'll have another 20 or 30 years before he's even what we would call an adolescent.
About Jar Jar, you were young, like I was young when I saw Ewoks for the first time. Objectively both were aimed at the younger audience and are offputting when you are over a certain age and see them for the first time. The character of Jar Jar made poop jokes witch was waaaaaaay out of the normal Star Wars humour tone at the time, it was quite frankly jaring and offputting. To the older audience it was not just Jar Jar the issue, it was the woodden acting, double bladed self mutilation light saber... basically it was not what we expected then from star wars. To us Jedi were magical hermit weirdos a bit like Gandalf in LOTR so when the prequel came it was reviled because it was not the expected tone. Was there a portion that was due to racism yes, no doubt, there are always bad people ready to use any excuse, but the Jar Jar thing was mostly about the character, not the great work of the actor, it was a script issue. The character had no redeaming quality and felt forced, why would an unredemable character would stick with Jedis through all that stuff for no real reasons? I personally only found him interesting when he was treated like a useful idiot pawn for Palpatine to take power, it gave him meaning, but before that he felt like 6 to 10 years old pandering.
Ragnor must be the Tastiest kid in all of Star Wars...
Great Reaction!!!! i did the same when i saw Ahmed Best....pure Happiness!.
